9) Do not forget, the establishment of the existing e-mail accounts on the new server before transferring a domain name on the new server.
10) When user is only a beginner and do not know how to upload files, it is necessary to check with the provider if he can do that without additional fees. There are some hosts who offer this facility free some not in that position because of the issues of liability to offer.
It is necessary to consider whether the site looks and functions properly on the new server after the upload process to double. Preview plant is used in the form of preview link to see how the site looks like and some hosts offer this possibility by transferring the domain name.
